Early prediction of response to recombinant human erythropoietin in patients with the anemia of renal failure by serum transferrin receptor and fibrinogen
Yves Beguin,Martine Loo,Samir R'Zik,Brieuc Sautois,Frangoise Lejeune,Georges Rorive,Georges Fillet +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that response to rHuEpo can be predicted early by pretreatment fibrinogen and TfR, together with early changes of TfC levels and baseline serum transferrin receptor levels.

Reticulocyte transferrin receptor (TfR) expression and contribution to soluble TfR levels
TL;DR: Hypertransfusion experiments clearly demonstrated that reticulocytes can contribute substantially to sTfR levels in vivo, and TfR numbers are regulated in vivo by the same factors as in vitro, in particular iron deficiency and erythropoietin stimulation.

Soluble and cell-associated transferrin receptor in lung cancer
TL;DR: BAL cell-associated TfR may help in the differential diagnosis of lung cancer vs pneumonia and is negatively correlated with BAL supernatant neuron-specific enolase (NSE) (P = 0.01), suggesting that cell- associated TFR in BAL originates primarily from macrophages in this fluid.

Quantitative assessment of erythropoiesis in haemodialysis patients demonstrates gradual expansion of erythroblasts during constant treatment with recombinant human erythropoietin.
Yves Beguin,Martine Loo,Samir R'Zik,Brieuc Sautois,Françoise Lejeune,Georges Rorive,Georges Fillet +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that changes in the various erythroid compartments vary considerably in intensity and speed, and that the erythroblast compartment in particular is slow to respond to modifications in the ERYthropoietin stimulus.

Effect of recombinant human erythropoietin on platelets in patients with anemia of renal failure: correlation of platelet count with erythropoietic activity and iron parameters.
Yves Beguin,Martine Loo,Samir R'Zik,Brieuc Sautois,Françoise Lejeune,George Rorive,Georges Fillet +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that rHuEpo has a small positive effect on platelet production, but it cannot be ruled out that this could be partially mediated through functional iron deficiency.
